Gorgeous views

We really enjoyed staying at this beautiful, well decorated home. The views were beyond stunning, especially in the morning and evening. My kids loved playing on the dock and even went for a paddle, brrr! It's so very spacious with tons of seating. It was really too big for our family of five, we didn't even use the smaller cottage. The views from the dining area were breathtaking. We really enjoyed the fire pit as well. We would definitely stay again!

We nicknamed the trip “the boat trip without the boat”. The water view is amazing and we spent time outside everyday! Highlands is a charming town and great for hiking. We would visit the Highlands again!

Highlands Getaway

I had a large group of friends split between two houses. We had the best time in the cabin. Rooms are perfect, the living area was great for all of us to watch a movie. Kitchen area was excellent. Our favorite was the fire pit and dock. We sat and enjoyed a fire listened to 70's music it was great. The cabin is clean, and easy to get to. Getting into Highlands is simple and fast. We hope to return next year.

Incredible house and location relative to DT Highlands

4th in Highlands

4 adults, 3 teens, 1 golden retriever made full use of this property on the lake. House and adjoining cabin for the teens was great. Lake is beautiful, used the kayaks and SUPs. Close to downtown and hikes. Only negative is that it is right on a busy road so you cannot walk anywhere from the property and must be hyper alert that all gates are locked so dog does not get out. We really did enjoy our stay!

Lovely cabin on the water

The home was lovely and clean. It was on the water and had boats and poles that made for a fun experience. There could have been some additional supplies and the railing needs to be fixed, but otherwise the location was excellent and we had a great time.

Great house and location. This house was perfect for a family. The space to spread out and also gather was very nice. Updates to the kitchen and bathrooms were great. Waking up and walking a few steps to the lake and dock were amazing. We had a blast.

Highlands Mountain getaway

This property was absolutely perfect for our group. Kitchen was big, bedrooms were awesome. Porch and Deck were our hangout spot. We fished, kayaked, hiked, fished and a couple of us crazies actually got in the cold water, it was amazing. Sat around the firepit every night and spent Saturday watching football on the porch. All ready there is talked of wanting to rebook in the spring. Hope it's available.

Exceptional property with amazing ambience.

This property is perfect for a large group. We were 8 women, family and friends, ages 24 to 75 yrs old. Sufficient beds and baths (the separate bunk house was a bonus ) in large kitchen and plenty of sufficient seating for dining. The property owner left easy instructions and was a very good communicator. The plentiful. parking was exceptional for a Highlands property. The proximity to town was very convenient . I would like to rent this property again in wa to take advantage of the fire pit and canoes.

Wonderful overall; safety issue (staircase railing)

Overall we loved the place. In particular, being truly right on the lake, with deck, dock, kayaks, boards well placed. The fire pit and big den were appreciated. Disappointing issues: staircase railing was unstable and grandma nearly tumbled down the stairs as a result. A cable tie was in place but maybe only compounded the problem: was it meant to hold the rail in place to its mount (it didnt), or just act as a flag (it didnt)? please fix and consider adjusting the charges. The master BR (ground floor) was musty, maybe thats why it had multiple fans. Moved the rug out (sorry we forget to replace it) but no better. ALso would have appreciated an explicit heads-up that the property is on a busy road/hwy. Kitchen needs bigger pots/pans, baking dishes, cookie sheets, rubber spatula. We are trying to be constructive here and if needed we could edit this before it goes public. thank you!

Beautiful Lake House

The Lake house is beautiful. Has just been newly remodeled. We all enjoyed the peace and relaxed outside by the lake, fishing, and grilling out. The only downside was I never noticed on listing the house or bunkhouse does not have air conditioning. Only fans. And no screens in windows except ones facing lake. Had to keep windows up and fans going. Temps in house when using oven to cook were between 85-93. The temp during the day in house’s were the lowest with fans 77-81. But, we spent most time outside by lake. Me and my husband and family truly enjoyed every minute of vacation. We adjusted to temp in house. We would definitely stay again!!!! It truly is a beautiful location and worth the time with family 😊

Musty, lacks character on the inside.

Price was good for the amount of property and being on the lake, but we had 2 days of fireplace cleaning, early morning delivery of furniture, dryer was not working, room upstairs smelled like cat urine. The house is extremely damp and was sterile with no accessories or decor. Lacked the cozy factor. The Owner did not mention they would be having repairs in the listing prior to my booking the property. It was disappointing to not have the fireplace as advertised in one of the photos. I went back and reread the reviews and it looks like the same individual gave the property a couple of 5 star reviews. I wish I had caught that before my booking. It’s a bit of bait and switch. I will say the property has potential and has a beautiful view off of the back porch with paddle boards and kayaks. If you stay there, I would sleep upstairs away from the moisture or the bunkhouse. Overall I would not stay there again.

Wonderful getaway with family

Despite some weather related plumbing problems (that were dealt with as soon as they could be), it was a wonderful getaway. My husband and I along with our dog and one adult son stayed in the big house. My sister and her husband and 17 year old son stayed in the bunkhouse. A great way to have time together yet space apart. Everything you need for your stay was there. A great location and property. We look forward to hopefully visiting there again this summer. The owner was great about communicating and I also look forward to working with him again.
